Insert Coins: Make Selection

Do you have buttons? Are they big, red shiny ones that anybody with one eye can see, or are they Shaker-style, hidden behind pleats, so no one can know where they are?

My buttons hide behind big, fluffy folds of stoicism, and the only way anybody can tell they have found one is by the silence they bring. Yeah, I’m talking about emotional buttons. Just to make things more fun, I won’t be telling you what they are, so if we ever meet, it can be a little game, just between us. Won’t that be fun?

I will tell you a few of the big red shiny ones, if you’d like.

1. Pet spay/neuter efforts. I cannot for the LIFE of me understand why somebody would add to the problem of homeless animals by not getting their pets fixed. This conversation I WILL. NOT. LET. YOU. WIN.

2. Taxes. Gosh, I can barely type that without a rant. Must. Not. Start.

3. Welfare. Ohhhhh…so hard to bite the tongue without actually MAKING IT TWO PARTS.

4. The Constitution. You know: freedom of speech, gun control, governmental interference? That sort of thing.

5. Religion.

OK, so you have been warned.

On another topic altogether, HARRY is a GIRL! Before you start with the “flunk biology much?” jokes, she has TUFTS of FUR. At 6 weeks, those looked..well, tiny, yes, but they grew. I kinda figured it out last night, tho, two weeks later, when I noticed the development is a bit more “apparent.” The vet confirmed today. I felt like an idiot. Harry=Lily. Lily is as mean as Harry, and twice as cute. More later, I’m sure.

[…] The good thing about having the other cats a little miffed at the baby is that nothing has died in here in at least a month. They just don’t want to be in here with her. That is gradually changing, since just this morning I woke up to find JP at my feet with Lily two inches away from him. No fuss, no fights… of course, she’s an addition to his harem. Why should he complain? (I’ll forego the obvious jokes here. If you want to hear ‘em anyway, post a comment.) I guessed the first day that Lily was a girl by the others’ reactions to her. JP was pretty accepting right from the start, since she wasn’t competition. The Girlz were another story. I really need to quit second- guessing myself. Not that she’s gonna have a gender-identity crisis from it or anything, but I did feel pretty stupid when I found out the truth. […]
